Dominium Energy, well-connected to the "Biden/Handlers" folks, were doing some IMAGINATIVE accounting regarding Offshore Wind Turbines, which made electricity production  LOOK too low to be true.

Sure enough, the Virginia State Corporation Commission questioned Dominium assumptions.

Read on to enjoy the story.…

This “new bird-killing study” is basically old news.

All the bird killing is the fault of Obama, who had a bug up his a.s about expensive wind turbines that produce variable, intermittent electricity at a very high price, that will saddle the US economy with high energy costs and make it EVEN less competitive with other countries, which will have the EU countries laugh all…

Global food prices jumped to a new record high, soaring the fastest on record, as the conflict in Ukraine unleashed food supply shocks across the world, by Tyler Durden

German Retailers To Increase Food Prices By 20-50% On Monday

BY TYLER DURDEN

Just days after Germany reported the highest inflation in generation (with February headline CPI soaring at a 7.6% annual pace and blowing away all expectations), giving locals a distinctly unpleasant deja vu feeling even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine…

With the Ukraine War, the Green Chickens Have Come Home to Roost

I analyze energy economics and related public policy issues.

A cursory survey of recent media headlines reveals a profound shift for analysts and commentators of energy sector issues. The baseline over the past three or four decades has been an endless stream of articles vilifying,…

Written by Lehr and Harris

The Dem/Prog Biden administration may be judged evil as it relates to virtually all of its new energy directives, which are in accordance with its top-down PLAN. 

.

The underlying purpose of everything it does is to use control of the federal government to reduce our freedoms and increase centralized command/control over our lives.

After the Ukraine Invasion: Energy Realism Emerges In Germany While yhe US Doubles Down

In a landmark…

Germany's energy systems analysts have known for at least a decade:

1) Wind and solar are troublesome actors on the grid

2) They are too expensive for any industrial economy

Solar is very expensive on an “all-in” cost basis, shows up around midday, disturbs the grid, so the other electricity generators have to ramp up and down their outputs, to allow this short-time intruder onto the grid. After that disturbance, peace and quiet is restored to the grid,…

EV Charging Prices in Munich Expected to Increase up to 81%

BY TYLER DURDEN

It looks as though living the alternative energy EV dream is coming with higher costs...at least, that's what's being reported on the ground in Munich. 

Germany's "messy transition to renewable energies" is resulting in an unpleasant surprise for EV owners at charging stations, energy-focused German blog …

THE UKRAINE PLOT IS THICKENING WITH GERMANY AND FRANCE NO LONGER IN LOCKSTEP WITH US/UK-LED NATO

It would be better to allocate resources to become much more energy and resource efficient, and as a result…

Based on the plan of eliminating fossil fuel plants (they emit CO2 and particulates) and nuclear fuel plants (they are alleged to be dangerous) by 2050, the existing gas, nuclear, coal and oil generating plants would be decommissioned and no new ones would be built.

This would require huge build-outs of wind, solar, and storage systems, and increased electricity supply via external ties to adjacent grids.

There is no way one can close down nuclear, oil, gas…

VT-Department of Public Service found, after a survey of 77 HPs installed in 65 Vermont buildings:

- The annual energy cost savings were, on average, $200/y, but the annual maintenance, and annual amortizing costs (at 3.5%/y for 15 years) would turn that gain into a loss of at least $200/y.

- On average, the HPs provided 27.6% of the annual space heat, and traditional fuels provided 72.4%. These numbers are directly from the survey data. The small percentage…

Asia goes nuclear while Europe goes bust
